	Philip Tagg \| Heterophony - EPMOW entry (2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Heterophony can denote everything from the unintentional polyphonic effect of slightly unsynchronised unison singing to the intentional discrepancies between vocal line and its instrumental embellishment which are characteristic of much music from Greece, Turkey and the Arab world (ex.
		Heterophony is also at the heart of most forms of Indonesian gamelan music in which several layers of heterophony can combine to produce a distinctly chordal effect (ex.
		A different type of heterophony is found in traditional music from the Scottish Hebrides where each florid pentatonic improvisation on the same psalm tune is thought to present each individual’s ‘relation to God on a personal basis’ (Knudsen, 1968, ex.

	What is monophony, polyphony, homophony, monody etc.?
		Heterophony means that multiple parts use the same melody, but at somewhat different times.
		In heterophony, generally speaking, any vertical alignment of intervals is coincidental and not important.
		Heterophony finally appeared in 1919, as a term to apply to music of other cultures, as noted.

		Crawford’s exploration of polyphonic “heterophony” represents one of her most original and enduring contributions.
		It is here, in the heterophony of her music, that Crawford offers her most significant and lasting challenge to music in the Western classical tradition.
		Ironically, by then the musical world had changed dramatically and her brand of modernism was ultra-modern no longer, having been supplanted by the still more radical music of the post-Webern generation in both Europe and America.

	Excerpt Chicano Poetics
		In this the chapter, the efforts which have been utilized to read heteroglossia and heterophony are expanded for the reading of the dialogue of signs.
		The similarity in form between heteroglossia and heterophony, on the one hand, and heterosemia, on the other, is rooted in a convergence of literary discourse analysis, rhetoric and semiotics.
		In the reading of heterophony, the discourses which compose 1 Henry IV were generically classified according to an augmented version of Bakhtin’s stratification of social languages.

		Then, a close look at the novel as well as at Yourcenar’s French translation (in her introduction, she states that "it is a book with six characters, or rather six instruments") convinced de Vries to go on.
		Heterophony I functions as an epilogue of some sort at the end of Part 1, whereas Heterophony II and Heterophony III rather function as interludes in Part 2.
		Heterophony II is followed by Episode IV (farewell dinner party to Percival) and Episode V ("Lamento on the death of Percival").

	Excerpt Chicano Poetics
		At the level of heterophony the sets are the relatively stable discursive groupings of social languages, discourses, and voices (which include, in other terminology, dialect, jargon, argot, idiolect).
		The notion of etymology was cast in familial terms because a counterpart at the level of heterophony is genealogy.
		Because of the underlying condition of heterophony, the dialogism of the multiple discourse text can be understood as the conflict of discourse itself, be it among any combination of heterophonic sets or interlevel sets (as in langue and parole).

	FESTIVAL REVIEW: Homespun Beauties By Miguel Galperin (New American Music, Richard Felciano, November 8-11, 2005)
		In fact, he is as clear as the medium of music allows, using replica air-strike sirens on a tape part, and instructing the percussionist to beat the bass drum thunderously.
		This was a unique work in that all of its first part, including passages where the heterophony became overly saturated, to my taste, served as a long upbeat to an absolutely convincing, and much shorter, second section.
		The musicians of the NYNME responded to this difficult piece with a solid performance led by guest conductor James Baker, who was able to elicit, in conjunction with the interpreters, much of the descriptive power that the composition intends.

		The vocal pieces are overtly ecclesiastical; the instrumental works seek the eternal silence at the heart of sound, as is indicated by the title of his best known piece, Tabula rasa.
		But this does not mean that Pärt is influenced by these or any other composers; still less does his work have anything in common - apart from the obvious fact that he uses few notes and much repetition - with the minimalists with whom he is sometimes allied.
		The first entry of the voices is electrifying; from monody is generated lucidly spaced polyphony, or sometimes heterophony.

	Texture
		There are two musical "effects" or "techniques" that are often included in discussions of musical texture although they have little to do with what we have included in our discussion of musical texture thus far.
		These "effects" are known as antiphony and heterophony, and are encountered occasionally in certain cultures including the cultures of the West.
		Heterophony is an "echo" or "shadow" effect in music, wherein melodic material is played by two or three different performers in very close musical proximity one to the other.

		The episodes are linked together to form a chain of development in such a way that the principal motifs gradually merge into a more continuous melodic line, heard near the end of the work.
		One might describe this manner of development as 'from variants to a theme.' Part of the development involves the use of heterophony, which achieves two purposes: recreation of their original 'archaic' manner of performance, and creation of a specific quality of ensemble sound.
		The principle of interlacing heterophony, bringing together several variants simultaneously, is applied at a higher level in order to link up a number of musical ideas and thereby produce an unimpeded flow of complementary or contrasting layers.

		This is not strange, if we know that these tones are the most stable in the tonal system underlying folk songs, while other tones - the first, second, third above the final are more or less unstable and so are the intervals between them.
		As far as the "polyphonic form" of these songs - it appears as heterophony, more seldom as heterophony-bourdon, the bourdon proper being the last frequent.
		Heterophony is spread evently across the whole territory in which ancient two-part singing survives.

		There are sacred object: the bead of a snake looks like an elementary heterophony because the sacrality expresses itself by it.

	Definition of Heterophony
		One of various musical textures, heterophony is a kind of complex monophony - there is only one melody, but multiple voices each of which play the melody differently, either in a different rhythm or tempo, with different embellishments and figures, or idiomatically different.
		The term was invented to differentiate this from European polyphonic music of separate melodies; however, it can also be seen as a type of polyphony.
		Each instrument plays the same melody but embellishes it slightly with grace notes, vibrato, etc. Other examples include traditional Thai music and the gamelan music of Bali.

		Nishimura principally employs heterophony, a characteristic device of Asian traditional music, thereby subtly transforming the intervals, rhythm and melody of his dense multi-layered textures.
		Some works are heterophonic melodically, such as HETEROPHONY (1975), and some rhythmically, as in KECAK; the superimposition of trills, tremolos and harmonics contributes to the more complex texture of his later works.

		It has also an effect on the lyrics, insofar as single words or phrases are lengthened with vocalisms or enlarged with additional syllables.

		Most instruments are similar to those in Jiangnan Sizhu, though some have been modified to have a wider range of notes, greater dynamic contrast, or Western-style equal temperament tuning in place of regional tunings.

		The discovery of the world of Oriental Jewish music brought him to innovative use of the ancient concept of heterophony — a kind of texture with simultaneous sounding of several variants of the same main idea.
		Expressiveness of melodic contours, fluctuation between lyric cantilena and narrative dramatic gestures, richness of orchestral colors stamp the imaginative world of his music.

		This first monograph on his work consists of analytical essays which examine the composer's style, various dialogues with him, and Kopytman's articles on composition, included his innovative research on heterophony (1982-1989).
		From that moment Kopytman's music was influenced by the rich heterophony of Jewish folk and synagogue music, with their inexhaustible blending of voice variants.
		His close contacts with Oriental Jewish musical roots, combined with his profound knowledge of modern Western trends, became the basis of Kopytman's individualized and very impressive stylistic synthesis.
